Op zondagmiddag 19 juni spelen nieuwe bands van de HKU hun muziek voor publiek in het tweemaandelijkse jazz & world programma op zondagmiddag van UJazz en DUMS.

Op deze zondagmiddag HKU Showtime! met een nieuwe lichting van jonge muzikanten van het Utrechtse Conservatorium. Met afwisselend maar liefst vijf bands in Marnixzaal en Torenzaal en in between drie singer-songwriters in de binnentuin. Een unieke kans om in puntige 30-minuten sessies veel nieuwe muzikanten te zien en te horen.

Het complete programma:

14.00: Cacti

Vier koppige band die mensen net zo enthousiast wil maken over Braziliaanse muziek als de bandleden zelf zijn.

Torenzaal

14.45: Tyler McCullogh Trio

Looking back at tradition, looking forward to new ideas. From familiar standards to fusion and funk-jazz pieces. Improvisation and invention is what you can expect.

Marnixzaal

15.30: Funky Monkey Sunday

A quintet guided by their love for energetic jazz and modern arrangements of old standards. With a vigorous flutist and a lively rhythm section, Funky Monkey Sunday will show whether it is Funky, a Monkey or Sunday.

Torenzaal

16.15: Placeholder

A quintet that consists of 3.5 Mediterraneans and a Dutch bass player, trying to explore the limits of ethnic jazz, odd meters and being late on time…

Marnixzaal

17.00: Fenne

FENNE’s music is like an autumn day: anything can happen, from a rainstorm to a sudden ray of sunshine peeking through the falling leaves. The band’s sound is a combination of pop and jazz, with a lot of improvisation and unexpected harmonies played over a distinct groove with memorable melodies. Like diary entries, her lyrics encompass dreams and expectations, disappointments and desires.

Torenzaal

Singer-songwriters:

15.15:  Luise

An emerging artist born in Berlin and grown-up all-over Europe. Her mix-and-match upbringing is reflected in her music with a diverse blend of sonic influences, as well as a uniquely honest, wise and melancholic writing style that dives deep into themes like young adulthood, identity, insecurity, and of course the age-old classic – love.

16.00: Mumblers

Turning mumbled words into an intimate livingroom athmosphere, the singer-songwriter duo Mumblers will lull you in with mysterious sounds, vocal harmonies and texturous guitars.

16.45: Anouk

A Dutch singer and songwriter who has been working on her debut EP ‘Blue Stars’. Her dreamy songs are a mixture of pop, indie folk, soul and rock. The catchy melodies and melancholic harmonies are memorable, but what really moves the listener, is Anouk’s raw, powerful voice.
